1. I get tons of those every day on some of my e-mail addresses.
2. Every time I open my e-mail but watch out for Richardson Benson and David Moore, they are so convincing that you'll bite and left with thousand dollar Fe Ex Vendor Checks that are forgery or a money order that is conterfeit. I bit and I am less $15,000.00 and that taught me something , you don't get something for nothing
